Turin (Torino to the Italians) found its way onto tourist's "must-see" lists after housing the 2006 Winter Olympics. For decades Turin has been viewed as a dreary, industrial city, but the truth is that the former capital of Italy is packed with historic buildings, exquisite restaurants, and delightful shops. Turin is the city in which solid chocolate was first discovered, so save room for some of the world's best chocolate!
Many tourists look for cities that stand out from the crowd. Turin most certainly fits the bill. The city is on the list of official "witchcraft "centers. A large astrological sundial is part of the city's allure with those who practice and/or believe in witchcraft. People watchers will find that the balance of tourists and locals, from a variety of locations, cultures, and age groups, make for some of the best people watching around.
